Yeccch go away.
who would legitimize her by hiring her after what she did to Tom cruise. Bad bad feelings that she created for the public. Go away.

Maybe you should focus on performances instead of personal lives. Get a grip.

Not true. Like Cruise Scientology was cleaving into her ability to act. The end result is you’re never anybody but you when you’re supposed to be playing somebody else. (Count ‘em up : Juliette Lewis, Kirstie Alley, Danny Masterson…The ethnics in Scientology seem to do better in this regard…Travolta, Pena, Ribisi…but this has zip to do with Scientology. It’s called innate talent.) That’s gonna take some time in that it is like brainwashing and it is a cult and a dangerous one. She has to get back get back on track to the cute charmer that she was before that turned into freeze-dried shtick after she met Cruise. (Look at “Pieces of April”.) I wish her well. This sounds good. I get the impression that Helen Mirren is particularly good with younger performers as positive influence. Such influence it seems to me can only help.

She was my favorite. But maybe it was the show that was so good. And, Why go with Tom and then turn on him. Why not find out Before getting into a new family.

What’s with all the poor Tom Cruise posts here? People get divorced all the time in this country for a variety of reasons– I say wanting to stop your kid from being brainwashed by a cult with a litany of harassment and human rights abuses is a damn good reason for getting the hell out. As for her needing to stick with it because she started a family with him, give us a break.

With all the pro-Tom posts I’d say a bunch of Scientologists are now posting on DEADLINE.
